2015 Best's Great Western Riesling

Best’s consistently produce outstanding Rieslings which are rated as one of the country’s best. Their Riesling vines were first planted as part of Henry Best’s ‘Nursery Block’ vineyard in the 1860’s with subsequent plantings in 1944 and 1978.

Brilliant water like colour with a distinctive greenish tinge around the edges and a watery hue. The nose offers up lifted scents of ripe lime, tropical fruits and orange blossom with a honeysuckle overlay and faint mineral end notes. Fresh and vibrant with a vein of mineral infused acidity running through its core, the palate features flavours of ripe limes, mandarin, subtle tropical fruits and honeysuckle. Clean crisp, crunchy acid finish with a long aftertaste of ripe lime, orange blossom infusions, honeysuckle and mineral.
